Real Time Rendering and BIM: photo-realistic renders in real time

Thanks to the Edificius-RTBIM module, Edificius is the first BIM software that integrates Real Time Rendering and BIM to produce photorealistic architectural renderings in real time while continuing to work in the design phase.
You can finally get constant visual feedback by checking the results of your design choices in real time.
With Edificius, even create and publish 360° Panorama images on Facebook, created in the Real-Time Rendering environment for immersive representations.

Edificius-VR: publish and share your 3D project on the web

With Edificius-VR you can publish your 3D models on the BIM Voyager online platform and share them with whoever you want.

The software saves the BIM file to a cloud based platform and creates a link for shared access to the 3D BIM model in a virtual reality viewer.
All you need is an internet connection and a web browser to view the project from a PC, a smartphone, or a tablet.

Working drawings, construction documents, schedules and import/export in standard formats

With Edificius you can compose your drawing models with great freedom with simple drag & drops. Produce highly detailed architectural reports, tables and project schedules. Even export all drawings in the DXF/DWG/DWF file formats and technical reports in the RTF format.

Import/Export in IFC standard format

Edificius can import and export in the standard IFC format. IFC is the “common” file format that allows all team designers (architectural, structural engineer, plant engineer, etc.) to exchange their BIM models. IFC 2×3 import and export is compliant with the Coordination View 2.0 certification issued by Building SMART.

Built and Demolished elements with automatic comparison between de-facto and planned elements

Edificius is the ideal solution for preparing renovation works or work variation surveys. In a unique design environment, you can manage two separate BIM models (de facto or surveyed and project). You can automatically produce a comparison table with drawings and the relating cost estimate of the planned interventions.

BIM Integration with ACCA’s structural engineering software, EdiLus

You can integrate the BIM model with EdiLus for all the structural design, calculation and verification aspects in reinforced concrete, masonry, steel and timber.

Everything is in accordance with Eurocodes and the latest construction codes currently in force

5D BIM integration and cost estimating

The true 5D BIM… With Edificius automatically generate a dynamic Construction Estimate from the BIM model. Thanks to the BoQ and Cost Estimating features that are directly integrated in the Program.

Each variation of a BIM entity corresponds to a dynamic updating of the metric data and the project’s total cost.

For more advanced Cost Estimating and BoQ features, you can use the more extensive quantity surveying tools. It’s available in PriMus by means of direct integration with Edificius.

Integration with other ACCA software solutions that will soon be available for the International Market

The Edificius architectural BIM design model can also be integrated with information leading from other IFC standard compliant software.
In some countries, Edificius can already be integrated with other ACCA solutions using its own proprietary software technology. You can add MEP design information, Energy performance analysis, Health and Safety, Maintenance Plans, etc, to the Architectural BIM model.
In fact, ACCA produces software for a multitude of design purposes in the Building and Construction sectors. Not all of these solutions are currently available in all countries.

BIM integration with Google Maps®

With the Edificius Google Maps® Importer tool, terrain modelling becomes easy and immediate. Simply define an area to import and with a simple click automatically get your terrain profile together with full-color aerial imagery and Google Maps® elevation data.

BIM and CAD integration

Edificius also includes a Professional 2D and 3D native DWG CAD. It allows you to draw with all the power of a CAD application with all the most common graphical entities:
lines, polylines, arcs, circles, blocks, hatches, splines, 3D polylines, meshes, faces, 3D solid face, helices, point cloud, revision balloons.
It has user-friendly interface, drawing tools and commands similar to the most popular CAD solutions available on the market.

Integration between BIM software with Sketchup® and BLENDER®

Edificius supports dynamic integration with Sketchup®. Build up your 3D models of any shape and form to express your creativity with the maximum freedom of expression.
Also enrich the project realized with Edificius with additional objects modeled with BLENDER®, one of the best graphics suites for solid modeling.

N.B. To add the Structural Engineering and Analysis or the advanced Cost Estimating and Bill of Quantities features, you will also need to have EdiLus and PriMus installed on your PC.
